Elation: That sense of ‘euphoria’ which floods my body, mind or spirit when nothing feels this good, sounds this sensational, feels this wonderful, tastes this sweet or looks this fabulous!
That moment of joy that places you,‘In seventh heaven.’
When your spirits rise and make you feel,‘Tickled pink.’
Which left you happy,‘On cloud nine.’
Or,‘Happy as a clam.’
You get my drift here: when was the last time you felt elated?
I’ll share my joyfulness here if you’ll share yours… I’d be ‘Cock-a-hoop!’
Can’t wait to hear what you might share: ‘With bells on.’
And I hope you’re all – ‘In fine fettle’ today.
Yes I'm "on top of the world" it looks like you are too.
ReplyDeleteWhen life changes and a loved one faces death from a fatal disease, suddenly you can see just how good the good times are.
DeleteElation is when your loved one can forget the bad stuff for a minute (or 3) and smile and laugh.

ps you still have word verification on.
It's good to know that you're 'in a fine feather.'
DeleteCock a hoop?? OK. I'll try to use that one some day.
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy, I thought it had a nicer ring to it, than 'a dog with two tails' *lol* - lovely to meet you here in the A to Z!
DeleteAh, I love the English language! How many weird and wonderful sayings and idioms could we possibly need? I'm trying to think of another one, but I think you've covered them all...
ReplyDeleteHi Stacey, apparently there is a phrase: 'to have the world on a string' which is one I hadn't heard of! It's quite amazing how many facts appear find-able on the internet.
